Hit Edii......Andariki?

What's common between Chiranjeevi, Nandamuri Balakrishna, Pawan Kalyan, NTR and Prabhas? Well, they are big stars and have huge fan following. Apart from that they have one common feature among them - they need 'one big hit' badly.

Except for Allu Arjun and Venktesh, almost all the heroes in MAA (Movie Artistes Association) including Uday Kiran, Tarun, Kalyan Ram, Tarakratna also need 'one hit'.

'Bhari' Vijayamedi?

When the last time was that Chiranjeevi or NBK delivered blockbuster? Tagore was Chiru's last big hit. Since Narasinha Naidu, none of NBK films became a blockbuster. Though Chiru and NBK got Shankardada MBBS and Lakshmi Narasinha respectively, they are moderate winners but not super hits that make their fans smiling. For NBK, Okka Magadu is the hope. All his recent films were disasters.

Same goes with Pawan Kalyan and NTR. Pawan and NTR have been trying hard to get one blockbuster to change their luck for a long time. NTR himself admitted at the audio release function of Yamdonga. "After Simhadri, none of my films made my fans happy. Raakhi was appreciated. I am confident that with Yamadonga, I end my flops galore," he openly said.

Fans and industry members and everyone expect that Yamadonga brings him that much-needed success and puts the break to the flops. We wish him all the best.

Khushi Eppudu?

So is the case with Pawan Kalyan. After the phenomenal success of Khushi, success has been eluding him. Johnny was biggest disaster in his career. From then, his flops continued with Gudumbha Shankar, Balu, Bangaram and Annavaram. Of them, Annavaram is the only film that was an average to above grocer. Though all his flopped movies got excellent openings and fetched revenues, he didn't get that 'blockbuster'.

Now, he is working hard to do that ' 'Khushi' magic with his current film which is in the able hands of star writer-director Trivikram Srinivas. Trivikram brand of humor suits the Pawan's image, so everyone is hoping this would be a big hit. We wish both Pawan and Trivikram a good luck.

Success 'Varsham' karuvu

Young hero Prabhas travels on the same boat. After the massive hit, Chatrapathi, it has been dry spell for him. Pournami and Munna brought him down his 'rating'. That is why he has decided not to be hurry and do more films. Instead he is pinning all his hopes on Puri Jagannadh's next in which he has his lucky heroine Trisha and Bangalore model Sanjana.

Man'mohan'am kadu

Mohan Babu is still playing lead roles though he has accepted guest role in Yamadonga. After this, he is gearing up for another film as hero. But he has more flops to his kitty than other big heroes. If he wants to continue as hero, he immediately needs a success.

'Mass'ive hit ravali

Though Nag career doesnâ€™t look bad, he too needs one big hit. Sri Ramadasu was good hit for him but his fans are low after the colossal flop of Boss. Fans are expecting another 'Mass'ive hit from Lawrence directed Don.

'Lakshmi' Varinchena!

Uday Kiran who is almost touched nadir with many flops is hoping to bounce back with Viyyalavari Kayyalu. He also hopes on Lakshmiputrudu. He was once most 'shining' star in tinsel town.

Navve..Kavali

Tarun is another hero who desperately needs 'one success' just to be in the line. There is no smile on his lips with unabated flops. It Oh, my god, he has given so many flops that outweighed his earlier hits. We hope to see smile on his face again.

Chandamama ..Rave..Success Teve..

Navadeep is perhaps only hero in Telugu who has got so many offers as leading hero despite the fact that no film of his till date has been successful. From his maiden film, Jai, to the recent Poramboku, all his seven Telugu films bombed. His fortunes might change with Krishnavamsi's Chandamama. Hope for the better.

Jayam..ledu

Nitin's first film was Jayam. It ran for 200 days. After that he did deliver some hits. But he soon drifted into flops galore. Film after the film went downhill and some of them ran into financial problems. For few months he went hiding. Now he is back with bang and signed three films. Will these three movies change his fortunes?

'Kalyana' Dasami?

Kalyan Ram gave two flops after Atanokkade. Will Vijaydasami bring him luck?

Q lo unnaru..

Manchu Manoj, Venu, Aryan Rajesh, Tarakratna (7 films, not a single hit) , Shivabalaji, etc are also in the queue to get right break. We hope by 2007, all the 'Maa'na heroes will get the success.

As one character in Krishnavamsi's Khadgam, says, "Okka Chance Ivvandi.." our heroes need one chance to bounce back. To smile again.
